As the name of my blog indicates, I spend a lot of time thinking about home. Of course, my Heavenly Home is the one that is eternal, so that’s where I need to lay up my treasures, and that’s the one I’m striving for. But in the meantime, I have been given this tiny piece of the here-and-now—this home on the edge of town, this family, this neighborhood—in which to serve Him. And, though this is in the earthly realm, I want the things that happen here to be investments in the Heavenly realm.

The Present of Presence

The gift of time is a wonderful gift! 

This is how I've been spending mine the past week-and-a-half.

Loving on this sweet boy and his parents!
❤️❤️❤️


I'll be back to share more. But today I need to give the gift of time to my house.
(But I probably won't be able to clean the precious little handprints off of my storm door glass for a while.)

    SO PRECIOUS! Yes, such a gift. My four year old great-nephew (my niece's son) has just moved to Florida and I am clinging to the memories of when he was this age and I got to see him all the time.

      Thanks, Sandi! I am sure that you miss your great-nephew! Long distance relationships, particularly with little people, are hard!

    Definitely precious! Enjoy those sweet baby cuddles. I have fingerprints on my glass doors and low windows, and I'm not at all concerned about washing them quite yet.
